Editorial Review for MetroCafe & Wine Bar – by Julie Mehta
The Scene
With the selection and swank of a trendy lounge, but the mellow attitude and low prices of a neighborhood bar, this spot is ideal for winding down after work with friends or for a not-too-pricey date. Delicate white lamps hang over a bar backed by dozens of wine taps. Window-side cocktail tables give way to red walls, dark wooden chairs and candlelight in the spacious dining room, where it's quiet enough for quality conversation.
The Draw
Wine might be what gets you in the door, but the eclectic menu and attentive service make it easy to linger. More than 100 wines from all over the world are available in two-ounce tasting sizes, by the glass or bottle, or in flights featuring several sample-size selections. There's also a handful of beer flights, a full liquor bar and food choices ranging from Chinese finger foods to no-carb burgers.

I invited 11 friends.The service and food was excellent.The ambience was nice.I was able to have a nice conversation with friends not needing to shout above noise or music. It was a week night so we were able to linger as long as we wanted. Service was quick. We split a few bottles of wine among us. The wine was good. We were upstairs the tables were small so it was great fora large group of people. I met the owner through my friendand he let us have the 10 percent discount even if it was a party larger than 6. Great. I would recommend it and would come back here again.
Pros: great ambience, wine was great, nice owners
Cons: none!

was looking for a restaurant for dinner/wine/cheese and came across MetroCafe on citysearch. though i have yet to find a wine bar in the city that offers true wine and cheese pairings, MetroCafe was a good choice for their cheese and fruit platter and reasonably priced entrees. i ordered a flight of the cabernet, which was slightly overpriced for four 2oz glasses and a mediocre selection...no specific wine stood out. the cheese and fruit platter was very good, with crispy crostinis and very sweet fruit, especially the grapes. for the entree, i had the chicken with lemon butter sauce, which was juicy and flavorful. overall, i recommend MetroCafe for the comfortable atmosphere and good food, but wouldn't highly recommend it for the wine flights.
Pros: Good food, reasonable prices
Cons: Mediocre selection of wine
